   Lots of staff not that many customers Although staff very nice need training to serve customers Huge wait time to order drinks, then food Starter good Main disappointing as two small slices of beef - no second check to make sure we were happy. By time someone did eventually cone it was to clear plates which had been there for 15 mins Too long to order drinks - if you are going to include service need to train staff that they have to deliver it as standard! By time bill came had lost will to say anything and just wanted to leave. Lovely venue so much potential but need to up the standard of food and service for the price point!

   Finally shown to our table 40 minutes late on Christmas Day! Very slow service on every course with 20 minutes wait between courses. Food was ok at best but 2 roast potatoes on a Christmas Dinner rather disappointing. Seemed understaffed as we were served by every person rather than a designated server for our table which seemed to just increased lack of clarity & waiting time with no continuity or awareness whatsoever making the whole lunch unorganised and disrupted. AH is a fabulous historical premier venue provably the best in Ramsgate and was recently made aware the hotel and dining rooms are under new ownership which seemed then appeared obvious to regular customers who were used to the previous level of food and service in the last 10 years.

   Unfortunately our Christmas Eve dining experience was marred by an extremely long wait for any food to arrive - over 90 mins. Once it did arrive, it was very good, but there was so little communication from the staff to the all the customers waiting despite many enquiries / complaints. Not sure what happened this time round, as previous visits were fantastic. It's also worth noting that the staff did deduct all drinks and service from the bill as a good will gesture :)

   Unfortunately this restaurant prices itself as being a bit more high end but the service and the food let it down on this occasion. We sat down for breakfast and ordered drinks at 9.55 and we received our drinks 35 minutes later at the same time our food came out. The staff seemed uninterested and not very speedy and the 12.5% tip seems like it should be optional (it does not say that on the bill), especially when service has not been great. The food was ok, again, price not reflecting quality. I ordered a mimosa and it was the tiniest drink you ever did see! It’s such a shame as the interiors are beautiful, but this can’t be relied on entirely to justify poor customer service and overpriced average food. This place has so much potential but it just lets itself down in many ways.

   Perfectly ok restsurant, but bill came to £100 and it didn't feel like a £100 meal. Duck was good, but the plate presentation was mostly mash potato. Starter was a small portion Terrine for £10. Mains were £25 and £24 respectively, which was too high. Loved the decor.
